Perfect, short, sweet, to the point. At 71 years young I finally learned how it works.

@naturecallsoutdoors 4 года назад

Never too old LInda. I am right behind you

@a.barrett1412 2 года назад

55 here!! No clue what to do with that little jobber so i tied it in a bow. Lol. Now i can do it right!!

@mmtravel9726 Год назад

Thank you also :) I know its an old video but but why can’t they just include the three step instructions with products. Again, thank you very much! 🎉

@DarkShadowPR Год назад

I agree. How many times I go into RU-vid and have to skip through a 20min video for a 2min answer. Much appreciated 👍🏼

@n8rlvr876 Год назад

Lol, I feel ya, Linda 😂

@bobbymcnan1747 5 лет назад

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the video. I've used those a thousand different ways but never the correct way.

@naturecallsoutdoors 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching Bobby, glad it helped

@michaelkrueger7719 Год назад

Short, simple, and to the point. Wish more RU-vid videos were like this.

@cassandrabellingham8486 3 месяца назад

Gotta love RU-vid. I was packing my tent up for a trip this week and thought someone must know what these little plastic things are for, and I’m sure I’m not many to be just tying random knots in these lines. A quick search and viola! Here you are. Thank you sir.

@skye0711 10 дней назад

Thank you, 57 years old, several camping trips (first one just days ahead of me without my girl's). Thought I'd better watch a quick 'how to' Thank you 😊

@musicjustintime 6 месяцев назад

I know this is four years late, but I’m now 49 and thanks to your video, I finally know how to use these darn things! 😂😩. I grew up in the outdoors, and my father was an outdoor writer even, but I always got these things wrong or just drove a stake down through one of the holes in the plastic tab! So much for thinking I was an “outdoorsman!” Thank you my friend, and God bless! Justin from Pennsylvania, USA (and an Eastern Oregonian during my HS years, so I’ve been in some amazing nature! Just never knew how to use a pre-made guy line! Never too old to learn! 😂👍🏻)

@garyk5277 3 года назад

I've struggled trying to figure how to use those through many years of camping. Super satisfying to know how to make it work now. So simple and perfect.

@backchat8086 Год назад

Brilliant, straight to the point, no flaff video. This is how a tutorial should be done. Thankyou very much!

@danak8185 3 месяца назад

Thank you!! My guy lines broke last summer and I had to replace them this season with no clue. Your explanation makes so much sense!

@jonlitchfield8888 7 месяцев назад

We go camping every year. Without fail, everytime, i find ive completely forgotten how to use these cunning little things, and the wind is starting to pick up and the rain is threatening, so THANKYOU to whoever u are for taking the time to post your vid. And ive already saved it for next year 😂

@o0come0on 6 дней назад

OMFG the amount of ways and knots i was using.... to this day.... just to find out.... it was that simple... from the beginning 😳😳😳. I'm embarrassed a little bit.... Thank you sir 🙏😅😅😅

Much appreciated! I was struggling with this the other day when setting up a hammock tarp and this video cleared everything up for me. Short, simple and easy to understand. The perfect video! Thank you for doing this!

Thanks Hugh. Great little device really and you don't have to buy anything else

@yawningdog9894 4 года назад

@@naturecallsoutdoors You don't need to buy anything just use a tuatline hitch or truckers hitch or something

@@yawningdog9894 For sure Dan, these are the little locks that a lot of tents come with. Yes, learn knots

@ScoptOriginal 2 года назад

It's been so long since I put up a tent, (in fact I don't think I ever bought a new tent to have to worry about tying on the guy ropes) I was really struggling, trying to tie the tent end onto the knotted end and wondering why it wasn't adjustable. I only had to watch three seconds of this video to know what I was doing wrong. Thanks, you're a lifesaver.

@EJWash57 2 года назад

I usually throw those tensioners out and use a taut-line hitch. Although, I just bought a Marmot tent that came with the three-hole tensioners and decided to figure them out. YOU came to the rescue with your short, easy, and simple video. Thank you!

I hit the subscribe button just for this video, I was using a Prusik and wasting so much time, never even thought of this until your video

@naturecallsoutdoors 4 года назад

Thanks Brook. They are super lightweight as well. I do knots also, but love how quick this is

Great how to. I've never used this type of guy runner before but recently bought a used macpac microlight off ebay (awsome 4 season 1 man tent, if slightly dated) and it has these on the guys and I struggled to tension them. Turns out by watching your video they had been set up wrong. Now I will re-tie them the correct way and can use them without swearing alot. Love the channel, big thumbs up from the UK.
